Schweiss Doors “Strap Latch” Design Eliminates Cables and Pulleys

April 4, 2016

THE SIMPLICITY OF THE NEW LATCH STRAP IS TRULY AMAZING!

Straps do the lifting and now straps do the latching! Schweiss did away with all the cables, chains, sprockets and pulleys; and it now has 90 percent less moving parts. This is a real game changer in the bifold door world! It doesn’t get any better than an all-strap door.

” The thought process and mechanical aptitude to create the strap autolatch and lift strap system is quite ingenious. “

NEW “STRAP LATCH” DESIGN ELIMINATES CABLES AND PULLEYS

Unlike other latch mechanisms, the new design will securely hold the door against your building in all positions; securing the door when partially open, and it will positively lock the door when closed. It will even help secure the door from wind gusts when the door is open, closed, or in any position as the door is in a moving operation.

“The concept is so simple… I can’t beleive we haven’t thought of this before!”
